Chapter 3: A call to Conflict

June 20, 1914: As time passed by in Munich, Hans was coming back from school when he noticed something glowing in an ally way that he passed by. His curiosity got the best of him and he turned back into the ally way to check what it was. The only thing he saw was a piece of paper lying on an unused barrel, but there was writing on it. Something that he didn't recognize

"Europe today is a powder keg and the leaders are like men smoking in an arsenal...a single spark will set off an explosion that will consume us all...I cannot tell you when that explosion will occur, but I can tell you where....Some damned foolish thing in the Balkans will set it off"

-O_t_ _o_ _is____k is the last words he could read as the authors name was scratched out and was near impossible to read.

Hans: What is this supposed to mean? I gotta go show this to the librarian!

He tried to run off with the piece of paper but as soon as he was leaving the ally way, some unknown force pulled him back, when he turned around a ghost of a Stoutland with a prominent beard and a familiar looking spiked helmet was among him looking furious

???: STOP YOU FOOL! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE?!

Hans: W...who are you, and why are you so mad about a piece of paper?!

???: *Sigh* A young person like you would never understand something like this...HEY where are you going?!!

Hans tried to once again run away, but this Stoutland had enough, so the ghost charged at the terrified Pikachu only to disappear as soon as he made contact with Hans. He fell to the ground questioning what happened and why it happened. But that ghost looked familiar to him, its as if he knew him from posters and newspapers, but he couldn't tell at first

Hans: what just happened, well I still have to tell the librarian about this  pa...*realizes that the piece of paper was now gone* w..wait what?! Where did it go?!

Suddenly he heard a 90 year old mans voice in his head say

???: beware of this next European trial of terrors and errors, for they will come, and since you were a threat to my existence, you will be forced to see them

Hans: w..who are you, and why are you telling me this?! Wait you look familiar, are you the famous leader "Otto Von Bismarck"?

Bismarck: so you finally realized who I am, well at least your not that type of teena....

Hans: Its a pleasure to meet you sir, i've heard about you in newspapers, unfortunately you died a few years ago I also heard, which is why..

Bismarck: yes, that's why i'm a ghost

Hans: but, how can I still see you and talk to you?

Bismarck: well that piece of paper was my final will and because of this up and coming conflict that Europe will face, and the leader right now didn't take my words seriously, I forever haunt this paper, and as this saying goes, "the angry dead will haunt the living", which is why their is a curse now put upon you, which is also why.....HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!!

Hans: *reading the back of the paper, Bismarck's will* so it says here that your last words were that you would see your wife Johanna again, how is she? Oh, yeah sorry I have a hard time listening to people, but I think you were saying that you cursed me and something about a conflict,why did you curse me?

Bismarck: well for starters I was having a lovely time with her in the afterlife until you showed up and brought me back to this awful world, that's what made me angry

Hans looked back at the barrel and saw a photo of Johanna to be a Delcatty

Hans: well I see why you love her, but what does this curse even do? I don't feel different or anything

Bismarck: you will see young child, you will see *fades away*

Hans: wait! I wasn't finished!! Dammit! Well I guess there's nothing to do but to go back home


Meanwhile in Richmond, Britain


Aniela: S..stop! I know Pugilism and I'm not afraid to use these techniques!!

Bully 1: And where did you learn that, your old man

Aniela: *quietly* yes

All four bullies Begin laughing at her

Bully 2: AHAHAHA, Good one tell me another joke, because I can beat that old man like nothing!

Bully 3: Yeah! So you better give us that money of yours! I don't care if its for groceries, your handing it over NOW!!

Aniela: but..

Bully 4: 5, 4, 3...

Aniela: *uses a fierce punch to knock down the Grovile to the floor* (well my dad always said who ever starts it is to blame) Im not having it!

Bully 3: George, are you okay!!

Bully 2: he's out cold, come on we outta put this runt in her place *Pulls out a pipe from one of the walls of the ally way their in*

Bully 1: Yeah *pulls out a broken plank from a building next to them* she had it coming anyways, come on pal, lets see how you like it when we break your ankles

Aniela: *backs away in fear and tries to block a swing with something she picked up from the ground, it was a piece of paper*

Bully 1: Ha! you think that will save you! You really are pathetic!

Suddenly something drop kicked the Raboot knocking him out

Bully 2: What the bloody hell was tha...*was iron tailed in the face by Aniela getting knocked out due to him being rock type*

Aniela: Don't bloody mess with me!

Bully 3: *shivers in fear* This isn't going to be the last time you face us!

Adam Nowak: Actually, it is, because if you mess with my daughter again, you won't hear the end of it!

Bully 3: GAH! *runs away*

Adam: *sigh* why do you keep getting into so much trouble?

Aniela: what do yah mean dad?

Adam: you get yourself into so much trouble like that time you thought my eye drops prescribed by the doctor was drinking water

Aniela: I was only four years old at the time!

Adam: Or that time you called that one fat teacher of yours a "meatball"

Aniela: (Chuckle) well you gotta admit she kinda had it coming when she was wearing a red dress that fit her *snort* too tight

Adam: *trying to hold in a laugh* well yea...THAT'S not the point i'm trying to get to your brain! Look can you just promise me something, please act your age your 16 for god sake, so please act like it!

Aniela: *sigh* alright dad

Adam: Hey don't be so down, come on, your mother is probably waiting for us, besides your still having a good childhood, what could go wrong


8 days later news was hit around Europe that the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophia were shot and killed by a Serbian nationalist (a Kadabra) who stopped the open top car with psychic to make sure they couldn't run away. He was Arrested and when the Austria-Hungarian government found out that the Serbian government had something to do with this successful Assassination attempt and Serbia didn't cooperate with their agreements. The Austria-Hungarian Empire declared an act of war on the tiny republic of Serbia, which as you know set of a chain reaction of alliances. Because of the Tsarism of Russia not complying in demobilizing their troops out of this conflict, The German Empire declared war on the alliance and joined the Austria-Hungarians in the now declared conflict. Now this wouldn't be a problem if Hans's Aunt was Austrian and married a Hungarian who is now fighting for the Empires army, and took place in the shelling of Belgrade one month after the declaration of war. When Hans's father heard that his sisters fiance was now fighting in a conflict as a artillery unit, his father conscripted to serve the German Empire, Hans also wanted to go, but he has only 14 years old and too young to serve. Also, when his mother heard this, she freaked out when Ramon was conscripting for combat

Maria: WHAT?!!!! No, you must be joking, Por favor no bromees conmigo asi (please don't joke with me like that)

Hans: Mama, no es un broma, mi papa esta en la militar de Alemania (Mom, it's not a joke, my dad is in the German military)

Maria: no, no no no that's not true, it can't be true! Your lying to me, I know when your lying *eyes begin to water up*

Hans: Mom, please understand that he's going to be fine, and well um

Maria: let me guess, you wan't to conscript to, well to bad because it's not happening!

Hans: what do you mean?

Maria: well one, your too young to conscript, two your too well known around these parts so they will know if your lying, three your a terrible liar, and four your ADHD will give you a hard time taking orders

Hans: Mom I swear I can make it, please trust me!

Maria: no, I don't want to lose my baby, so don't even think of going against my orders!

Hans: O-okay mom


A few days later, about a weeks worth of preparation, during the night Hans sneaked out of the house avoiding the remaining relatives who didn't join the German armed forces and took some adult clothes with him to make him look older and practiced his deep voice and also practiced what he was going to say, about over a 100 times, and used shoes that made him look one inch taller. After that, he went to go volunteer for the army, he saw a Electivire in the front conscripting new recruits

Officer Altergott: Name und Alter (Name and age)

Random Krookodile: Leon Wagner, zweiundzwanzig(22 years old)

Officer Altergott: mach weiter(Go on)

Random Carnivine: Walter Shneider, Dressig(30 years old)

Officer Altergott: mach weiter(Go on)

Hans: Fritz Muller, Neunzehn(19 years old)

Officer Altergott:*looks down to see a Pikachu with a determined face* uhh mach weiter (that's weird, we barely get any unfully evolved pokemon, oh well, he will probably evolve during training)

As Hans left to the train station that lead to a German training camp, he couldn't believe how lucky he was to actually successfully lie for once. As the train left though, he realized what he was doing, leaving everything behind and possibly risking his life to go fight somewhere that he has never been before, going against his mothers orders, possibly never see his family again. It was a risk that wasn't worth taking, but he still went on to serve his country, but also find his dad

Two days later, in a training field near the Rhineland's where we see a Camerupt training a line of recruits for combat

Officer Bachmann: ACTUNG!!!Heute werden wir die Grundlagen des richtigen Marschierens in der Formation und der richtigen Pflege Ihres Gewehrs erläutern, ist das verstanden?(Attention!!! Today we will be learning to properly march in formation and how to properly take care of your rifles. Is that understood?)

Recruits: Jawohl!(yes sir!)

Officer Bachmann: Der Grund dafür ist, dass wir Truppen brauchen, um diesen neuen Plan unserer Top-Generäle auszuführen (The reason why is because we need troops to excecute this new plan created by our top generals)

a Dewott next to Hans asked a question

Gerwin: Sir, was genau ist dieser Plan? (Sir, what is this plan exactly?)

Officer Bachmann: Privat, denn im Moment ist es streng geheim. Bis es in die Tat umgesetzt wird, werden Sie jetzt die Klappe halten und mit Ihnen allen marschieren. Ist das verstanden?(Private, for right now it is top secret, so until it is put into action, for right now you will shut up and begin marching along with the rest of you, is that understood?)

as a month passed by. On August 4th 1914, Hans was almost done with advanced training when he heard that the secret plan that he heard of was the German government's plan to move their troops through Belgium, as he saw men being sent to the front lines, he saw a familiar looking Raichu getting on one of the trains that lead to the front

Hans: (god I hope he's okay)

Officer Ludwig (a Luxray): Muller! Gibt es etwas sehr Privates? (Muller, Is there something wrong private?)

Hans: Uh, nein mein herr(uh, no sir)

Officer Ludwig: Oh wirklich, warum bist du dann nicht in der Ausbildung?(oh really, then why are you out of formation)

Hans: Ich, uhh...

Officer Ludwig: *looks at where his eyes are pointing and sees the troops being sent to Belgium* Oh, ich verstehe jetzt, ich mache mir auch Sorgen um sie, Müller, aber jetzt ist nicht die Zeit herumzustehen, Move it Private!(oh, I see now, I'm worried about them too Muller, but now is not the time to stand around, Move it Private!)

Hans: Ja herr!(Yes sir!)

Officer Ludwig: (something is up with that new recruit, we almost never get Recruits shorter than two feet, must be a new type of troop)


After one week of training in marching, learning to shoot and take care of a rifle, learning discipline with harsh punishments, and building and taking cover later, Hans along with thousands of troops were ready to be sent to the front, but as the Germans move through Belgium, but as the Germans moved through Belgium, the British figured out what was going on and declared war on the German Empire for violating Belgian neutrality, Aniela's family along with everyone living in Great Britain got word of this. And as soon as they got news of this, men young and old began conscripting for combat to serve for king and country after the Empires government declared an act of war on the now out numbered Central powers. Aniela really wanted to also fight over seas, but one she was too young to fight, two she was a girl living in the early twentieth century, and three her mother nearly had a panic attack when her teachers gave word to her mother that she said she wanted to also fight overseas

Mary: THE BLOODY HELL DO YA MEAN YOU WANT TO FIGHT?!!!

Aniela: Mum, I just want to do something with my life, something that isn't just slumping in a corner bored out of my life!

Mary: You can do something, you can find someone special, start a business, read or write a book, do Bloody anything but that!!!

Aniela: well my dad is at work right now, all of those things are irrelevant to me right now, and you will never even spend a single second of your time with me, EVER!!

Mary: don't you raise your damn voice at me, and I get it I made some dumb mistakes in the past, which I don't wan't ya to make, I'm trying to prevent you from following my dumb decisions. Now do me a favor and forget about this war, it's cause is stupid anyways and it should not have happened, understand?

Aniela:*sigh* yes mum*goes back up stairs*

A few minutes later, Adam walks in the house after a long day at work

Adam: Honey I'm home!

Mary: hey hun, we need to talk

Adam: wot is it? Is that blok at work giving you a hard time again?

Mary: no, its just that you know how this whole war started and our government decided to throw their head into the ring

Adam: yeah, wot about it? *begins to drink some milk with cookies as a late dinner*

Mary: our daughter wants to fight for this lost cause of a conflict

Adam: *accidentally spits out the milk violently on Mary*

Mary: *covered in milk and bits of cookies* seriously?

Adam: sorry *cough Cough* *gives her a towel* but why would she even think of fighting for an elite army? shes just a girl, and I've never heard of a female soldier!

Mary: she made an excuse about how we never spend time with her and how she actually wants to do something with her life, but I say that the kids at school are getting to her head!

Adam: honey, let me talk to her

Mary: NO! We have to show her what discipline means! We can't lose our only daughter to this useless war!

Adam: hold on, please let me have a talk with her

Mary: fine, but make it quick

He goes up stairs to find the door to her room locked

Adam: Aniela, are you there? Its me, your dad, I just want to talk

Aniela: I don't

Adam: and why is that?!

Aniela: my mom told you already didn't she

Adam: yes now open this bloody door this instant young lady!

She slowly opens the door to find a Hitmonlee with a very stern and dissapointed look on his face

Adam: what are you even thinking in that brain of yours?!

Aniela: I wan't to do something with my life, I want to be independent and use those skills you taught me!

Adam: *sigh* well first of all, I taught you those skills for self defense, not for starting fights, and second of all you are prohibited from ever going near those conscription stations! And one last thing!

Aniela: *face still grumpy*

Adam: I'm sorry that we have to yell at you, but we don't want to lose you ya know, so please follow our orders, you may not be a soldier, but your our soldier for being the best daughter we could have

Aniela: thanks dad, I appreciate it

Adam: alright its getting late so go to bed, I don't want you find you awake reading those scary stories again

Aniela: alright dad, goodnight

Adam: goodnight *closes the door and walks back down stairs*

Mary: did you tell her?

Adam: yeah, she shouldn't be able to join now, the problem is solved and it will never come back again!


a few days later, it came up again. While her parents were no longer worrying about this problem, she was preparing to sneak out by getting a part-time job at a barber shop to save up for supplies. While her dad was happy for her, her mother got a bit suspicious. It was until three days had passed by, when her had caught her trying on some of his old clothes when he also got suspicious. after a week passed by she had everything that she needed to lie her way into the army. These items being some of her dads old clothes, which fit way too big on her, some pounds to buy her food, an old watch, and about 2 days preparation for a lower voice, but as she left, she noticed a few other things that weren't there before in her supply bag, a note with some very familiar hand writing on it

Dear Aniela,

So you think you can hide things behind your parents backs could you? Well me and your mother talked about this and we decided to let you go on ahead, but there is a few things we should tell you before you go on your adventure. First of all, we all know that the British expeditionary force doesn't let people under 18 and women in the army , which unfortunately you are both. So along with some clothes that I packed for you, your mother and I also gave you extra money to buy a stone to evolve since you're chances as an Eevee are slim in the army. So use this money to buy a stone that will make you look more like an adult. And second of all, please take care of yourself, your grand father nearly died during the American Civil war and he told me all about the horrors of war when he first immigrated from split up Polish commonwealth to the United States, so please do me a favor and keep yourself out of trouble and do you're best out there!

love, Adam Nowak (AKA, dad and mom)

P.S. you're mother freaked out when I first made up my decision, it was hilarious


Aniela: mom, *sniff* d..dad, *eyes began tearing up* I love both of you

She opened her supply bag to find an extra 150 pounds, adult clothing belonging to her dad, and a Vaporeon plushy to remind her of her mom. This made her tear up so much that she began to cry while hugging the teddy bear as tightly as she could for 3 minutes before she got herself together and proceeded to the stone shop and bought herself a sun stone, then she went into an Allyway and made sure that no one was there.

Aniela: welp, *deep breath* here goes nothing

She gently taps the stone and begins to glow, a voice in her head tells her if she wants to proceed, she says yes and glows even brighter. It takes her a few seconds to clear her eyes from the blinding light of evolution, but as she rubbed her eyes she saw that her paws were no longer brown. They were a light purple color, he could feel her tail and saw that it was no longer big and fluffy, but thin and slick, having two ends of the tail. She put a paw on her head and felt a pearl on her head. She looked in a puddle and it was confirmed, she was now an Espeon!

Aniela: Yes, It worked! *she jumped for joy only to feel not only taller than before in height, but also feeling something bounce up and down on her chest* Please don't tell me what I think that is *she looks down to find out that her height and strength wasn't the only thing that grew* oh dear god why

She began to panic, as this could easily give away her gender. She opened up her bag in a panic as she tried to find something to cover this up, but she found a white bra with a note on it

You might need this-Mom

Without wasting anytime she put it on as fast as she could covering up herself, along with the men clothing from her father, cut her hair and eye lashes shorter and practiced what she was going to say before getting to the conscription area near Richmond. As she got there, she saw a huge line of male volunteers ready to fight for king and country, in the front she saw a Diglett get rejected for military service by a Lucario at the front

??? Lucario: sorry, but come back when your 18 years of age

???Diglett: but I am 18

???: Don't lie, lying only makes things worse. Besides, If we let children in, then next thing yah know our sweethearts back home are going to be fighting in the fields instead of us!

random person in line: Thank god that hasn't bloody happened yet

???Diglett: sorry lieutenant Harrison

Lieutenant Harrison: Its alright, now go back home to your parents before they find out about this

As the line continued, Aniela began to day dream about what the war would be like, bayonet charging into the front lines, wearing a classy uniform with honor, being one of the first women to fight in this war, at least the things she heard of from people and news papers around Richmond. The more she day dreamed, the more she was blind to her surroundings. And by the time it was her turn, she didn't even realize it

Lieutenant Harrison: Next, Ahem, NEXT!!!

Aniela: huh, what?

Lieutenant: are you Deaf?! Your holding up the damn line!

She looked behind her to see a whole line of volunteers waiting with irritated faces all around

Aniela: oh, s-sorry!

Lieutenant Harrison: *sigh* Name and age

Aniela: *clears throat* sorry, Charles Hop, 23

Lieutenant Harrison: alright, go wait with the others for the weight and height check

She went in a room with others for a medical examination, she was 2 feet, 52 inches tall, and her weight was 61 pounds, she also had an eye check which she also passed along due to her preparation, and she still didn't get discovered by anyone. After she was checked she got two shillings for joining the British expeditionary force and then was to wait with the others. As she was waiting, a Buizel struck a conversation with her

???: hello good chap, what got yah to this point in life?

Aniela: what, are you talking to me?

???: well who else would I be talking to, the wall?

Aniela: fair point, whats yah name?

???: Lewis Jones, pleasure to meet yah, what's your name?

Aniela: Charles Hop, I'm ready to fight for king and country!

Lewis: huh, your one of them two huh?

Aniela: what do you mean by them?

Lewis: those poor patriotic bastards, they don't understand what their getting into

Aniela: what do you mean, isn't the technology of today's military evolving for better protection of our island nation?

Lewis: correct, what they didn't tell you is that we aren't the only ones with this type of new technology, nearly every country in this damn continent and other areas are armed to the bloody brim with weapons and explosives of all kind, especially the Germans, I heard those guys are well armed and trained, so being naive is the last thing you want

Aniela: wow, wait how do you know all of this stuff?

Lewis: well I......

Lieutenant Harrison: alright everyone, pack your belongings. The train to Gloucester training camp is leaving in 7 minutes, but first an oath to this great Empire, everyone gather around and follow my words

Every recruit in the room: 'We swear to faithfully defend his majesty, his Heirs and successors...against all enemies'

Lieutenant Harrison: alright everyone on the train, unless you want to miss the bloody war!

Aniela: (that's it? That's the oath? Wow, that's lame)

Lewis: Are you gonna come, or are you just gonna stand there and miss this 'opportunity' for a 'great journey'?

Aniela: coming, (yeesh, well at least I got in, well this is it, my first steps to a great journey)


a week later Aniela was in training, learning how to bayonet charge and learning better discipline for this up and coming journey to unfold. Meanwhile on the other side of the spectrum, Hans was all ready in a line of newly trained German soldiers, both fierce and mean looking when compared to him, yet never the less he's here with a ghostly Bismarck on his side, ready to realize that he made a huge mistake volunteering for this conflict.......





4483 words written for this one chapter. To say the least, this is the most I've written for one chapter of any of my stories, why did I make it so long you may ask? To make sure everyone knows what is going on in the next chapter of this book. So look out for another chapter in the future of this account! With that being said, I hope you enjoyed!
